FAMILY OWNED vs. CONGLOMERATE

We pledge to provide the finest care and to have a wide range of burial and cremation options at the most reasonable cost.

Our dedication to the community is reflected daily through our contributions and service to business, civic and church activities. We believe that the most valuable thing we own is our reputation.

Put your trust in people with your best interest at heart! Over one hundred years Barr-Price Funeral Home has served generations of the midlands of South Carolina families - people of all beliefs, all financial capabilities - completely, competently, and compassionately.

Our fair prices represent the greatest value. Our staff is kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and our facilities are immaculate.
